[Verse 1]
Em7
I’m beginning to hear voices and there’s no one around
Em7
Well, I’m all used up and the fields have turned brown
Em7
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
Em7
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
     Bbdim       A7                Em7
I’m waist deep, waist deep in the mist
            Bbdim       A7                Em7
It’s almost like, almost like I don’t exist
    A7                  G                  Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
[Verse 2]
Em7
The walls of pride are high and wide
Em7
Can’t see over to the other side
Em7
It’s such a sad thing to see beauty decay
Em7
It’s sadder still to feel your heart torn away
    Bbdim       A7                Em7
One look at you and I’m out of control
          Bbdim       A7                Em7
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
     A7                  G                  Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
[Verse 3]
Em7
There’s too many people, too many to recall
Em7
I thought some of ’m were friends of mine, I was wrong about ’m all
Em7
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside’s mud
Em7
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
  Bbdim       A7                Em7
I found my world, found my world in you
         Bbdim       A7                Em7
But your love just hasn’t proved true
     A7                  G                  Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
A7                  G                  Em7
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
[Verse 4]
Em7
Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Em7
Reality has always had too many heads
Em7
Some things last longer than you think they will
Em7
There are some kind of things you can never kill
     Bbdim       A7                Em7
It’s you and you only I been thinking about
     Bbdim       A7                Em7
But you can’t see in and it’s hard lookin’ out
    A7                  G                  Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
[Verse 5]
Em7
Well the fat’s in the fire and the water’s in the tank
Em7
The whiskey’s in the jar and the money’s in the bank
Em7
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
Em7
I’m gonna remember forever the joy that we shared
          Bbdim         A7                Em7
Looking at you and I’m on my bended knee
Bbdim       A7                Em7
You have no idea what you do to me
A7                  G                  Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
A7                  G                  Em7
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
